Hi guys/gals. I've had this camera about a year and now want to use the wifi function. I've read, watched videos and I cannot connect. I do get the blue wifi enable LED flashing bur cannot connect to my network. It's asking for a password and the password is the encryption key but on my menu the encryption key reads AES and that does not work. I was never asked to enter a camera name or led to that page. I've also tried resetting the camera to factory settings and reinstalled the app but nothing seems to work. Can anyone help?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Well I called Canon and got the problem resolved. It appears that Set 1 had to be deleted before I could proceed. He talked me through that and everything worked but still did not get a screen that allows me to name the camera but that was already put in for me as Canon Rebel T6i so I guess no real reason to change to any specific name. In the future I will not have to go through all that again because the encryption code will appear.

Thanks for your very informative reply but I want to connect to my iPhone so I can use the iPhone as a wireless remote. The learning videos I watched show no interrface cable being used between the phone and camera.
